I made some progress passing in the variables for m, k and c:
one_dof.m:
EqMotion.m:
I should politely point out that if the impression is widely held that the
manual entry for anonymous functions explains that, then it doesn't - your
reply was much clearer than the manual entry.
Emboldened by this, I thought I would try passing in my "u" vector. The u
vector is a displacement applied to the base of the system, determined in
advance - an "obstacle", if you like. The example is a pretty trivial one
but it paves the way for various things now.
This was my attempt:
one_dof.m:
EqMotion.m:
So, right now I see what I expect to see. Whether or not it's the best way
to code it I have no idea, in particular making a copy of the time vector to
pass in twice seems strange but I can't work out how not to need it for
interpolation of the u vector I passed in. If there is a better way to take
the derivative on the fly I'd like to hear it, too.
Other than that, I think it's mission accomplished for the moment.
Many thanks for both replies, without which I would have failed dismally!
